Logorno to Nájera

Another good day of hiking. Spent most of the day walking on farmer’s roads in between the vineyards. But before today’s trek, I want to share with you about last night. I had a great night in the city of Logroño. It was Enrique’s last day on the Camino, so we went to the Calle del Laurel, a street with dozens of tapas restaurants. It was extra special being with my Spanish friend, who did the ordering of both the food and the wine. Everything was delicious, and since it was Friday night…the city center was crowded with people. It’s one of those cities where I imagine that most Americans have never heard of…but is well known to the Spaniards. We had a lot of fun eating and drinking great wine. But I was still in bed before 10pm. Early morning today. I was on the Camino by 6am. I made it to Najera by 1:30. I got settled into my bunk bed and my 25 other bunk mates. I walked down the street to the grocery store and bought some fruit and trail mix to have in my pack. Rain is due to start soon. Rain all night and tomorrow. I’m eating at the Alberque tonight…10 euros for a full dinner. I’ll eat with the other pilgrims tonight…that’s better than going out in the rain, finding a restaurant and getting wet.
